Striking Acrylic on Canvas 18"x 36" I was lucky enough to visit
Quinta de Archino during a time when there were no guests and received
private lessons from Dom Braganca in trade for exercising schooling
stallions. Dom Francisco De Braganca's family ruled Portugal from 1640
to 1910. He is dedicated exclusively to the Portuguese equestrian arts,
culture and horse, continuing the centuries-old traditions of
horsemanship laid down by European royal riding masters. He has
extraordinary knowledge of the classical royal court riding arts and
trained with the master Nuno Oliveira. In earlier years Dom Braganca
performed as a "forcado," an assistant to the Portuguese mounted
bullfighter. Today he teaches, trains and breeds fine Lusitano's at his
farm near Lisbon, Portugal, Quinta de Archino and travels the world
giving clinics. He ended up allowing me a ride of a lifetime on his
prized and highly trained Lusitano stallion, Pasqua. This is Pasqua –
hundreds of years of royal bloodlines run through this magnificent
horse’s veins - he is striking!!! -- Kimry Jelen
